Source notes

A directional timing technique that moves significators through diurnal motion, with the current reference page limited to a narrow reviewed geometric lane.
It should not promise complete primary-direction judgement or every traditional variant.
Primary directions are a traditional timing family based on the apparent daily motion of the celestial sphere.
Primary directions are part of the broader timing family alongside profections, decennials, firdaria, and return-based revolution work.
Primary directions have many historical lanes, including different keys, different promissor sets, and different latitude or quadrant policies.
That mix supports calculation language while keeping historical variants separate.
The page does not publish outcome delineations from directed contacts and does not resolve all historical direction-key controversies.
The page keeps mathematical and historical claims separated so downstream pages can display a conservative lane description.
The page treats these as technical preconditions for a narrow lane, not as a complete catalogue of direction keys and promissor-significator policies.
The public page can describe the narrow semi-arc calculation family and its technical astronomy footing.
The reviewed lane uses ecliptic-to-equatorial conversion, ascensional difference, oblique ascension, and same-quadrant semi-arc logic for selected directions.
The reviewed page describes a constrained geometric implementation and does not claim to cover every historical direction method.
The source stack combines a traditional primary-directions guide with technical astronomy references for the coordinate transformations.
This seed page only describes the reviewed lane named in the source note.
Those claims need separate reviewed pages with lane-specific locators.
